1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 2+2 Coupe – 4.2L, 4-Speed, Well-Preserved Driver

This 1968 Jaguar E-Type 2+2 is a desirable Series 1.5 coupe powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Showing 88,506 miles, this matching-numbers car is said to be in excellent mechanical condition and is described as a very nice, perfectly running and driving example that’s ready to be enjoyed. This 2+2 configuration offers the classic long-nose E-Type design with added practicality and interior space, making it a versatile vintage sports car for touring or weekend use.

Series 1.5 E-Types are transitional models between Series 1 and Series 2, retaining much of the earlier aesthetic—including glass-covered headlights and smaller bumpers—while incorporating certain mechanical upgrades like open headlight fairings and improved cooling systems. This example maintains the classic Series 1 silhouette and proportions with seating for four and retains its factory 4-speed manual gearbox.

The body presents well, with consistent panel fit and trim. The finish and color are not specified, but the car is described as very clean and well-kept. Chrome details, glass, and brightwork remain in good condition. The iconic wire wheels and long hood preserve the E-Type’s timeless design.

Inside, the car retains its classic British charm with a well-preserved interior, correct switchgear, and factory-style instrumentation. The 2+2 layout adds rear seating and a longer wheelbase, enhancing ride comfort and usability without compromising performance.

Under the bonnet lies Jaguar’s torquey 4.2L inline-six, renowned for its smooth power delivery and robust character. The engine starts easily, pulls strongly, and is said to run exceptionally well. The 4-speed gearbox shifts cleanly, and the car is described as turn-key and capable of being driven anywhere.
